What are Hectometer and Dekameter

Definition of Hectometer

A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundred meters (100m). It is less commonly used than meters or kilometers when measuring large distances, but it is still an official unit. Hectometers are often used in land measurement for agricultural and forestry purposes. One hectometer squared (hm²) refers to the area of a square with sides of one hectometer in length.

Definition of Dekameter

A dekameter (dam) is a metric unit of length that equals ten meters (10m). It is not as widely used as other metric units like meters or kilometers but serves as a bridge between these measurements. In terms of area, one dekameter squared (dam²) is the area of a square with sides that are each one dekameter long. It is sometimes used in land measurement but is more of a theoretical unit in everyday practice.
